Michael, thanks for bringing this up. It's something that James had expressed a need for and something Mifos should and will explore more closely.
Here's what James articulated as the need: 1. Someone comes to fineract or mifos list serve and wants /needs a specific feature. 2. They are told to input the feature into an online form (and maybe also into the issue tracker) 3. A developer who is a member goes to the platform and puts in a bid in 4. The next developer who comes may undercut that price 5. Reverse auction approach I will look more closely at Issuehunt and have an intern that's working on community development, Rachit Gupta, one of our GCI winners, explore some options. We could potentially use some of the Github Sponsors features - Mifos is now a part of the program, having moved off the wait list. https://github.blog/2019-05-23-announcing-github-sponsors-a-new-way-to-contribute-to-open-source/ On Discourse, we have also create a marketplace category for jobs and service requests which covers some of this but doesn't have the proper action mechanisms for this bidding/reverse auction.
